Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Strange Rapier

Minor Force Field!

As Karl’s mental power increased, the coverage and influence of the force field also increased to a certain extent.

And his physique had already crossed 0.9, reaching the Peak Knight stage.

Even his martial skills, with the help of the Divine Domain Fragment, had reached the state of perfection.

The heavy broadsword felt as light as a feather in Karl’s hand, leaving afterimages as he swung it, clashing against the incoming rapier.

“Shing!”

The sound of air being torn was sharp and piercing.

Hmm?

Both of their expressions changed simultaneously.

The blond-haired man sensed the effect of the invisible force field on him, while Karl was surprised by the speed his opponent displayed.

So fast?

Just talking about speed, the opponent’s value was probably already over 1, comparable to a Formal Knight.

Even…

Faster than an ordinary knight!

And that wasn’t all.

“Shing!”

The blond-haired man flicked his wrist, the rapier flashing repeatedly, actually cutting open the force field.

How is that possible?

Karl’s eyes widened in surprise, and he retreated repeatedly.

He had never encountered this situation before. What method did the opponent use to break his magic?

A special Rune?

The strange longsword in his hand?

Fortunately, it was only temporarily broken, not a magic failure. After a short pause, the force field would recover.

If he wanted to attack, he would still be affected.

“Interesting.”

The blond-haired man licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Karl. He lunged forward:

“Very interesting indeed!”

Combat Technique ━ Starfall!

His extreme speed, combined with special techniques, turned the rapier in his hand into countless starlight that descended from the sky. First, it tore apart the force field, then it fell towards Karl.

It’s the sword!

This time, Karl saw it clearly.

It was the rapier in the opponent’s hand that broke the force field.

There seemed to be a strange power on the rapier. The moment the force field came into contact with it, it was cut open.

“Hmph!”

With a muffled grunt, Karl spun the broadsword around him.

Combat Technique ━ Gale Slash!

Five afterimages appeared out of thin air, merging into an impenetrable sword shield, firmly protecting Karl within.

At this time, he could not only easily perform Gale Slash, but he could even control the direction of the afterimages’ attacks. His mastery of martial skills was already impressive.

He was no longer blindly attacking like before.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The sound of collisions was as rapid as a downpour.

“Crack!”

A blinding light suddenly appeared.

Light Spell!

The blond-haired man instinctively closed his eyes, then realized something was wrong. He retreated rapidly, his rapier flashing repeatedly.

“Boom!”

The ground beneath Karl’s feet exploded, the tremendous force allowing his speed to increase dramatically.

Combat Technique ━ Eagle Strike!

This was a combat technique from the Eagle Stance, allowing the user to increase their speed explosively for a short period.

Fury Strike!

Cleave!

Cleave!

Cleave!

“Clang…”

The blond-haired man’s wrist trembled, blood flowing from his palm as Karl slammed him into a pile of rubble with his broadsword.

Although he was fast, he wasn’t strong.

His strength was probably only around 0.8.

Strike while the iron is hot, Karl thought, his face grim. He relied on his superior strength to suppress the opponent.

The broadsword spun, clashed, and slashed. The blond-haired man struggled to hold on, finally revealing a flaw.

Die!

Karl’s eyes narrowed, the broadsword finding the opening and striking. But he didn’t notice the sneer that appeared on his opponent’s face.

“Bang!”

“Pfft!”

His broadsword landed heavily on the blond-haired man’s waist, the immense force tearing through flesh and bone.

But the blond-haired man also took the opportunity to strike, leaving a shallow sword mark on Karl’s back.

“Ugh!”

Karl swayed, unable to press his advantage. Instead, he felt a deep fatigue wash over him.

What’s going on?

He had noticed the opponent’s move, but didn’t think much of it. After all, in an exchange of injuries, he had the advantage. It was a good deal to trade a minor injury for a serious one. But it seemed… things weren’t that simple.

“Tsk, tsk…” The blond-haired man held his rapier, shaking his head and clicking his tongue.

“To think you’d trade blows with me. You’ve got guts!”

Karl retreated, holding his sword and staring at the wound on the opponent’s waist. His expression grew increasingly grim.

The horrifying gash was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the wound on his back was bleeding profusely.

“Swish!”

The blond-haired man suddenly abandoned Karl and charged towards Dana and the others, his rapier flashing wildly.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft, pfft!”

The three of them desperately dodged, but they were far from matching the blond-haired man’s speed. Cuts appeared on their bodies.

The blood flowing from their wounds was devoured by the rapier, and the blond-haired man’s injuries gradually healed.

Until…

He was completely unharmed!

“Clang!”

Karl swung his broadsword and charged again.

He had guessed that the rapier in the opponent’s hand should have the ability to devour the life force of others and replenish its wielder.

In that case,

He absolutely couldn’t give the opponent a chance to breathe. Otherwise, as the opponent grew stronger and he grew weaker, he would have no chance of winning.

Gale Slash!

Eagle Strike!

Minor Force Field!

Light Spell!

…

Using all his methods at once, Karl’s attack was as fierce as a storm, each move aimed at vital points. He was giving it his all.

“Bang!”

The blond-haired man rolled and dodged, his thigh covered in blood. Although the situation was precarious, there was no fear on his face.

Instead…

Madness!

Excitement!

The more injured he was, the more excited he became.

This man was a lunatic!

“Haha… good! Very good!”

The blond-haired man wildly swung his rapier, completely ignoring his own injuries as he charged towards Dana and the others.

“Pfft!”

The rapier sliced open someone’s abdomen, madly devouring their life force. His injuries were rapidly healing.

To him, Dana and the others were healing potions. He wasn’t in a hurry to kill them.

“Again!”

Turning around, the blond-haired man was stunned.

He saw that Karl, who had been attacking frantically just moments ago, was now running away, abandoning Dana and the others.

It was understandable.

He had no way to quickly recover his energy. His burst couldn’t last. As time passed, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage. Escaping now was the wise choice.

“Heh…”

The blond-haired man shook his head:

“Trying to escape?”

“Can you even escape?”

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished, charging towards Karl’s location.

In terms of speed,

He feared no one!

Moments later.

Panting heavily, Karl stumbled into a long alley. After running for more than ten meters, he suddenly stopped.

At the end,

It was a dead end.

“Run!”

“Keep running!”

Behind him, the blond-haired man slowly caught up, his rapier in hand, a mocking smile on his face:

“Let’s see where you can run to now!”

“…” Karl turned around, looked at the opponent, and suddenly chuckled:

“You’re right.”

“Where can you run to now?”

Hmm?

The blond-haired man was taken aback, instinctively sensing something was wrong.

“Whoosh…”

Before he could react, Karl raised his left hand, and a ball of flame roared out.

Fire Rune!

Fire Rune!

Flames capable of melting rock surged forward in an arc, engulfing the entire alley, leaving no gaps, no possibility of dodging.

“Boom!”

Six Fire Runes in succession, roaring through the narrow alley, sweeping away everything.

The blond-haired man swung his rapier, forming layers of sword curtains. But in the face of the roaring flames, they only lasted for a few breaths before shattering.

As the flames dissipated, only a charred torso remained. The torso was still struggling to move, seemingly trying to get closer to Karl.

“Whoosh!”

A Fire Rune hit the torso, exploding.

“Bang!”

The blond-haired man’s body was blown apart, and the strange longsword clattered to the ground.
